There have no reassign the bdev after check It is IS_ERR. the double check !IS_ERR(bdev) is superfluous. After commit 4e7b5671c6a8 ("block: remove i_bdev"), "Switch the block device lookup interfaces to directly work with a dev_t so that struct block_device references are only acquired by the blkdev_get variants (and the blk-cgroup special case). This means that we now don't need an extra reference in the inode and can generally simplify handling of struct block_device to keep the lookups contained in the core block layer code." so after lookup_bdev call, there no need to do bdput. remove a superfluous check the bdev & don't call bdput after lookup_bdev.
